If you can form a sentence, then you have a chance of being a copywriter. SEO service companies offer this service all the time. They pick a few people who can put words together, form sentences to make paragraphs and paragraphs into an article... there... a copywriter.
The market is truly saturated with people who want to be a copywriter. SEO services is another area that people can truly make a living from - after all, what can be so hard about writing for search engines? They don't READ!
But seriously, that is where the problem is. We assume that the search engines don't care too much about what is written because it is not human, it can't read and we can write utter rubbish and the search engine will gobble it up like a... well, search engine? People... that is a misconception that can cost you a lot of money and customers. The customers are human beings, they are real, and the scary part is that THEY read whatever the search engines deliver. So, if you deliver utter rubbish, at the end of the day when the search engine delivers, the customers DO read.
In today's modern world, that is what is wrong with being a copywriter. SEO service industry has distorted the way we write and the quality of our work. Quality writing is never to be compromised, no matter who we write for. If we do not value the quality of our work, we should all just be called 'words puncher' or 'sentence combiner'... it is because that is precisely what we are doing.
The job of a copywriter, seo service or not, is to make sense, write in an attractive way, entertain or at least deliver some form of opinion or information. Without which a kid can be a copywriter. The problem with the modern world today is that everyone wants to be a copywriter and they don't know that with the written words, we want to help build relationships.
Let me tell you something. Words... they're really powerful. The power to make friends over the internet lies in the hands of a copywriter. SEO services can come in second. If the copywriter writes in such a way that it attracts people, helps maintain relationship, delivers information and compels your customers to buy things from you, then the copywriter is a real keeper.
Do not fall for writers who are 'sentence formers'. Not only is it a waste of time, they might drive your customers away. The scary part is that they might drive your customers away... forever.
Think about it.
